Handy to get a couple out before lunch .

 

EDIT: Make that 3!

West Indies lack of experience there. One player going for it a bit at end of session is mildly acceptable. But when you've lost a couple of wickets, just play out til lunch surely?

Here comes the collapse

One brings two usually. Important to break that partnership. Alzarri is just slogging it. 

[StanSP]

Love that catch from Root.

13 wickets (so far ) in a day .

A testing wicket?

Funny because it looked dead flat in the morning session. Will be interesting if Windies can get Root or Pope cheaply. Still fancy us for 500+

[coolhandfox]

All the talk of having a bowling attack ready for the away Ashes.

 

Got no chance we this top order.

[Super_horns]

Never mind 600.

 

Let’s gets to 100!

Been a pretty good day after losing them early wickets. 

[Super_horns]

Good day in the end .

 

Well done Smith and Woakes .

England just chipping away, likely will be something like 150 to chase in the end, which this team really should (big word) handle.

Getting into the tail just after lunch would be beneficial.

Also Ireland just beat Zimbabwe in their solo Test

I think there should be an umpire's discretion but that lbw seems very harsh.

Not even going to get to 150 lead at this rate. Whittle them all out for a lead under 100 and it's an easy coast to victory...

Yeah, looks like it, but perhaps they will stagger to something a little over 100. Really shouldn't be a problem chase.

[leicsmac]

82 the target in the end, and Stokes exercising captains prerogative to open and do the job himself.

[Corky]

This will do our net run rate the world of good.

[Lionator]

Another pathetic windies display. A waste of our time. 

[StanSP]

Imagine taking a wicket off this delivery

I'll take this point of view seriously if we ever start winning regularly in the Caribbean.

I think Nasser had loads of stats after the last test basically showing teams don't win tests away too often.

 

Certainly not Series.
